President Donald Trump of the United States blasts the Grammy Awards, calling them “virtually unwatchable” and accused host Trevor Noah of making a false and defamatory comment about him.
Trump stated that the Grammys were one of the “worst” award programs and that CBS was “lucky” to no longer broadcast what he referred to as “garbage” in a post on his Truth Social account.
Additionally, he criticized Noah’s performance as host by drawing negative comparisons between him and Jimmy Kimmel, the host of late-night talk shows.
Trump’s comments followed a remark by Noah during the awards event in which he addressed Trump and former President Bill Clinton in relation to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump vehemently denied ever going to Epstein’s private island or having any connection to it.
Trump added, “I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close,” claiming that the media has never previously accused him of doing so.
He stated Noah’s comment was inaccurate and slanderous.
Calling Noah a “pathetic” and “talentless” master of ceremonies, the president threatened to take legal action against him and advised that his attorneys file a claim for damages.
Trump also mentioned prior legal issues involving media figures, claiming they had “worked out well” for him.
